Ok, I have a new doctor I stumbled onto. I went for an appointment at a new doctor's office and when I got there; I found out I had left my wallet with my id and insurance cards at home. Actually, I didn't know where they were; I just knew I didn't have them on me.

UGH!!! So, their next available appointment was several days away, and I was out of my meds. I set up the appointment and got on the phone to find a doc I could get into sooner.

I happened on a local clinic I knew nothing about but they took walk-ins and could see me the next day. And the lady who answered the phone and got me an appointment was really friendly and positive. I liked her right off the bat! So I canceled the other appointment and went to this one the following afternoon.

My doc is a Nurse Practitioner who spent a ton of time with me answering my questions and getting my health history. When we were going over my meds, I told her I hadn't been taking my thyroid for a while because I saw no improvements. My fatigue is wretched and for me to even get through a day is strenuous, much less have my brain working correctly.

Kindly, she explained to me why thyroid was so important. I had no idea what all thyroid contributes to. I think also, being depressed for so long, I wasn't in the mindset about what do I needed to do to better health. And, I was convinced the traumatic amnesia caused my chronic fatigue, so I just focused on getting through each day.

Ok, so I got my new thyroid meds and started taking them correctly about three days ago. When I first get up I don't eat anything or have my cherished morning coffee for at least one hour so I take my thyroid meds on an empty stomach and I will start drinking one glass of water with it.

I am GOBSMACKED at the difference in my energy levels. Did I say Gobsmacked??

GOBSMACKED!!

Before, I would write in the early morning when I get up because by noon, my brain was really tired. It is almost 5:30 and I am still doing much better. I have been taking my thyroid meds for about 3 days now and already I see a huge improvement! I actually got some chores done today! I cannot remember the last time I was able to do that
